# Related Trends Up: [[Thomas Sowell]] - **Musk as the persecuted genius.** In @brivael's Oct 24 pair ("how the system works", then "why Musk is under attack") Musk is the hero who broke a century-old "system". The same day, brivael posted about "The media is lying to you about Elon Musk" (a video, in EN and FR) and Musk's "2036, money won't matter" post (235K impressions) ⚠️ (not analyzed). - **The trillionaire milestone** (Jun 12, 2026, SpaceX IPO) and the wealth swings since then (Forbes, Oct 5 and Oct 21) set off defenses of "created, not taken" wealth. - **Sowell quote-cards.** Accounts like [[Users/@CapitalismMag/CapitalismMag-x-profile|@CapitalismMag]] and many fan pages post Sowell excerpts as one-line rebuttals. ⚠️ Check each one against the source. - **Equality-of-opportunity arguments** recur alongside the "Hitler was far left" posts in [[Topics/Fascism, Nazism and the Left-Right Spectrum/Fascism, Nazism and the Left-Right Spectrum|the Fascism hub]]. Both are part of the same pro-Musk, anti-socialist push by @brivael on Oct 21–24.
